Often we hear about how "such and such" pedal is "just a clone" of something else. While sometimes, yes it's true that a pedal is a straight up 1 for 1 clone of another, more accurately it can be looked at as "building blocks", similar to legos. In this video I'll take the same basic circuit and turn it into an overdrive, clean boost, distortion, Fuzz, and velcro-glitchy-super fuzz, all by changing an handful of parts and adding a few things around the base circuit.
Side note: If y'all like the sounds here, I might be able to make a handful of one-offs. Let me know in the comments.

Please continue to make these "nerdy" videos. Also, I would love an in-depth explanation of how to make different effects at the basic level, like what its doing to the voltage signal, current, etc.

Brian Wampler doesn't gig with a pedalboard; he brings five breadboards, some wire and a bag of alligator clips...and changes 'pedalboards' between tunes! Seriously, I would throw money at any of those impromptu "circuits" you whipped up. Very educational/enlightening. You're a true artist at what you do! Also: My V.1 Sovereign is probably my favorite distortion pedal of all time. Cheers!

I'm not into electronics, I don't understand much about what's going on inside these boxes but here's why I love this channel: Often, when people talk about this box or that effect, about this brand and about that model, they make it seem as if there was something mysterious, something magical going on inside the box but in your videos, you're showing how at the end, it's just a matter of what you use in a circuit and where you use it. That's it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!

This is really amazing to watch when you have been stuck in pedal design. Add more stuff and things happen! I never bread board, instead create small sections of circuits and lego them together in different ways until happy, then tweak away at values. This really makes sense to me with the blocks of “more stuff”. Thanks Brian!

I found the video fascinating! I've never built a pedal before, but it looks like it would be a lot of fun. Brian, perhaps you could do a video on how to build a breadboard pedal (fuzz, distortion, etc.) It would be useful to first see the basic signal path, and then see where resistors, capacitors, op amps and other components are added and changed to modify the sound as desired. Thanks

So to get that fuzzed out tone you just need all your wires exposed which is almost a moment of synchronicity that is exactly what i did last night testing a newly soldered fuzz circuit totally bare going into amp wires were picking up signal like crazy had to put guitar volume just a smidgen above 0 or the utter devasting tsunami of noise would've been literally earsplitting even at that volume the sputters & spits & fuzziness were like awesome...

I'll probably never build a pedal, even though there are all of those kits available, but your breadboard circuits are waaay too cool for words, so keep it up. I definitely look at what a pedal may be a "clone" of, but I don't let it's clone-iness or lack of clone-iness make the decision to purchase for me; gotta leave that to my ears, and the way it response to my playing.
